General José Remón Cantera was the man behind the scenes of several coups that ousted Dr. Arnulfo Arias Madrid from power, and arguably the true founder of the social reforming militarism that was later dubbed "Torrijismo" after General Omar Torrijos Herrera. "Neither millions nor alms --- we want justice" was Remón's most memorable statement of principles. Remón went on to be elected president of Panama in his own right but was assassinated on January 2, 1955. The crime was never solved. This park, adjacent to the Legislative Assembly's Palacio Justo Arosemena in Panama City, was dedicated to Remón's memory but over the years allowed to fall into disrepair and be partly taken over by street vendors' stalls. Last year, however, the park was restored thanks to a joint effort by the legislature and the Panama City municipal government. Photos by Eric Jackson
